Popup X,Y positioning is offset when including cal in existing page.

alphex · 05-27-2005, 11:36 AM

I've just loaded the EPC in to a website I'm developing, and I am very impressed with its features. I have one thing though that will keep me from purchasing if its not fixable.

http://allaboutkidslakota.com/calendar.php
go to June, and roll over the June 1st date.

You will only see the popup if you scroll down (or have the window open on a nice big screen). I've diagnosed that because I have the calendar loading inside of an existing template that I've built, the OpenLib Popup is taking the y placement of the top of the calendar, and adding that to the y placement of the top of the pop up... meaning that the 300+ pixels I have above the calendar, are being added to the y placement for the popup float.

I went to the pop up admin page, and was only able to put -99 into the "popup offset Y" value (3 character limit it seems), which made it appear higher on the page, by 99 pixesls.

Thinking I'd just change the character limit on the form, I quickly discovered the encryption you have on your php files.
So I come here.

The rollover feature on the event is very attractive for my needs, and would like to get it working inside of the site template I am using.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

true that there is a restriction regarding how many characters can be inputed, but not displayed

your quick fix will be to edit config.inc.php and find

PHP Code:


			
$ol_offsetx="-99";

$ol_offsety="-99";

and then change the values directly from there. Next time you'll go to the setup manager, you should see the full number you have even if it is greater than 3 chars... like "-450". As long as you don't try to change those values from the setup manager, they should stay at what you've set them in the config.inc.php file.

I'm sure that Brian won't have any objections to upping that limit to 4 characters instead

That did it!

Thanks

... for the less tech/geeky people like me, you might want to up that character limit though

This limit will be changed in the next release.

I have something simular... but when I ue teh solution as stated it works fine in IE but then FireFox is off.

Basicly FireFox seems to display teh standard x- offset and y-offset of 10 perfectly but IE sets it off teh page.

you can see what happens when I have the calendar placed on my page at: http://www.ancillatilia.com/personal/agenda.php
When you open it in FF it works fine and in IE the popup is off the page (giving me scrollbars and if not sticky no way of reaching it...)

I am using latest version 6.3.22

Not sure if this will help because it may be a javascript conflict with the menus on your page... But, try moving the $OL=1 code directly after the <body> tag. This sometimes can help.

FWIW... I just checked in IE 7 and it works as expected.

As I found in another thread I removed a (for us unnessecary) DIV statement and it lined out perfectly.
Read something about cellspacing and pading and CSS that makes it go off the page...

Lexie Molotoff · 07-31-2006, 02:19 PM

I tried your suggestion as well... For another page, another filter I needed the Div statement in tact. And it worked like a charm... silly IE

Hello,
This is our second EPC install in a Wordpress blog, and we're having some trouble with the popup window position. If on my screen the browser window is expaned to 100% of screen... the popup is located far away from the mouseover event. If I minimize the browser window to just show the webpage, no side background panels, the popup moves over close to the event date.

I've read alot of posts about popup position, but none seem to be this exact issue. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Does it do this on your demo.php page?

No - the demo.php is fine.

So, there is some other outside script/variable on your existing page that is overriding the values you've set in the Setup Manager.

... I just loaded your page again and it appears to work correctly now. Were you able to find the problem?
